Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
G7
I'm ready
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm ready
A Bm
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm ready
F#m Em F#5 - G5 - A
And I'm really gonna rock tonight

Sweet little lady sings, like a songbird
And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard
G7
But she ain't ready
D
No, no, no, she ain't ready
Bm
No, no, no, she ain't ready
F#m A7 D (F F E E D D B B F F E E D D)
And she ain't gonna rock & roll
Em A (A A B D F#) Em
She's sweet on Wagner
A (A A B D F#) Em
I think she'd die for Beethoven
A (A A B D F#) Em
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune
A (A A B D D B)
And Verdi's always creeping from her room

Faaaar far away the music i-i-is playing | both

D Em7
Well we were reelin' and rockin' all through the night
D/F# G
Ya we were rockin at the opera house until the break of light
D Em7
And the orchestra was playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes
D/F# G
And the singers in the chorus all got off on them singin' blues
D Em7 D/F# G
And as the night grew older everybody was as one
D Em7 D/F# G
The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song
D5 E5 F#5 G
Just to hearing the opera singers singing rock and roll so pure
D5 E5 F#5 G
I thought I saw the mayor there, But I wasn't really sure
D Bm F#m A7 D
But it's al- right
(ohh ohh ah Ah Uhhh)
